How To Choose An Instant Pot During Black Friday

how to choose instant pot

There is a lot of Instant Pot series and they are slightly different on designs so you may be confused and do not know which model is suitable for you.

Currently, there are 5 series on sale. The main component makes one series differs from another one is the micro-sensors used in the cooker. New micro-sensor technologies allow you to prepare complex cooking dishes easily with Pre-built Smart programs.

  • Instant Pot LUX Series

    This is the basic, economic choice. The LUX series has 6-in-1 cooking features: pressure cook, slow cook, steam cook, rice cook, saute and warming.

    Currently, Instant Pot LUX series are on sale with 10% discount for 8 Qt. model.

    For most home, this model is the perfect choice for the money, unless you want to make yogurt because Instant Pot LUX does not have this feature.

    The LUX model also has pre-built smart programs for cooking up to a dozen dishes. Depending on how big your family is, you can pick a 3, 5, 6, or 8 quarts model. Many people pick the 6 quarts LUX for a family of 4-5 members.

    We expect Instant Pot LUX series price will have higher discount during Black Friday, Cyber Monday 2018. If you need a basic instant pot with lowest price during this sale event, you should keep track of this series.

  • Instant Pot DUO Series

    ​Instant Pot Duo is the most popular choice, it is an upgrade version of the LUX, by adding a low-pressure setting for making yogurt. In fact, this series is the most successful one from the brand.

    Currently, Instant Pot Duo are on sale, the 6 quart version is discounted up to 20% and the 3 quart version is discounted with 10%.

    With little difference in the price compared with the LUX, the Instant Pot Duo series is a better choice for ladies who enjoy making yogurt for healthy meals.

    The Duo has 3 sizes: 3, 6, and 8 quarts.

    We expect Instant Pot Duo series price will have deeper discounts during Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2018. You should keep in mind as this series is the most popular choice, it can be out of stock very soon. You should watch for the price regularly.

  • Instant Pot DUO Plus Series

    ​This is a twisted version of the most successful series: The Duo.

    With this series, there is one new feature: sterile feature to cook eggs and make the cakes. Besides, you can also turn off the sound (when pressing button and when the cook is done) so it will not disturb you when sleeping. For anyone who love to make cakes, this series is the perfect choice.

    Currently, this series does not have discount. We will keep tracking the price and update when Black Friday comes.

    The Duo Plus has 3 sizes: 3, 6, and 8 quarts.

    We expect this series will have some discounts when Black Friday comes.

  • Instant Pot ULTRA Series

    ​The Ultra series includes all of the benefits from the previous series, making it a 10-in-1 cooking appliance and it includes a new feature for personal customization (called Ultra). With the Ultra program, you can set time, temperature, pressure, delay timer, keep warm after cooking on your own.

    The Ultra is controlled by both a button and a central dial for exact customization.

    Currently, this series does not have discount.

    The Ultra has 3 sizes: 3, 6, and 8 quarts.

  • Instant Pot SMART Series

    ​This SMART series is perhaps the best one when talking about advanced Instant Pot. Apart from basic benefits like the LUX, the DUO,…, this series is wifi-connected so that you can control the whole cooking process in many ways:

    You can create the “recipe script” to ask the cooker doing exactly what you want. You can tell it how long it should cook at high pressure, how long it should do slow cook, how long it should keep warm…in unlimited steps.

    The Smart has 2 sizes: 6, and 8 quarts.
